my {cupcake} swap

Hello and happy Tuesday! Time to go back to work today. I was fortunate enough to have the day off yesterday for MLK, so that gave me time to catch up on some much needed sleep after leadership. I can't believe how jet lagged I felt coming back to Pacific time! Anyway, here we are at the start of the work week. Before I head on in, my quick share today is my Leadership Card Swap. I'll tell you up front that my card is very basic. Not a whole lot of fancy techniques, but rather, something that's pretty easy to assemble, which was key for me since I finished these up in Nashville. Yup - I barely eeked these cards out in the nick of time to get any swaps! Thankfully, people still did swap with me and I got a lot of fun cards! I actually added the flower and pearl to this card to dress it up a bit {post swap}. You see, I had cut the pieces of my swaps at home and transported them to Nashville for assembly. Only to find out, I cut 28 base cards and 32 of the cupcake/DSP pieces. Oh well - let's just say my math skills were a little lagging the night before leadership! Wanna see the rest of the card? Here you go:

I made 28 of these little cupcake swaps. Simple and sweet. At least, I hope the people I traded with think so! Don't recognize that DSP? Aha!!...it's a little bit of a sneaky peeky for you. It's called Ice Cream Parlor and it's one of the free products you can earn during Sale-a-bration. Mark your calendars! It's literally right around the corner {January 25th is the first day, as a matter of fact...more deets coming soon}. How about the cute punched out cupcake? I love the set and coordinating punch. Absolutely adorable! It's the Create a Cupcake stamp set and the Build a cupcake punch.

We learned a little trick at leadership on how to be more paper efficient with the punches and the matching stamps...so stay tuned for that. It's pretty clever, yet simple. I think you guys will like it. In the meantime, here's the card recipe for you:
